How do you make the present continuous form?

Present continuous

Je gebruikt de present continuous om aan te geven dat iets nu aan de gang is. In het Nederlands gebruik je dan vaak ‘zit te’, ‘sta te’, ‘aan het …’.

What are you doing? I’m watching TV.

Ergens van balen

De present continuous gebruik je ook om irritatie uit te drukken, meestal in combinatie met always:

 

My uncle is always complaining about the weather!

They are constantly using my smartphone!
